I copied this from another posting:
It is basically a distorted 3 x 3 grid (which has 8 lines of three) that brings in 4 extra diagonals at the cost of losing 2 vertical columns. Net gain: 2 lines of 3 and an improvement from eight such lines of three to ten such lines of three.
1ooo2ooo3
oo4o5o6oo
7ooo8ooo9
We have three horizontal rows
1-2-3, 4-5-6 and 7-8-9
one vertical column
2-5-8
4 obvious diagonals
1-4-8, 8-6-3, 7-4-2 and 2-6-9
and 2 harder-to-spot diagonals
1-5-9 and 3-5-7
Ten lines of three in all
i could only get 6 rows.idk
i aint that smart
I heard a similar one with a farmer and peach trees
Put every ball except one in a circle, and put the last ball in the middle of the circle, but nope, now that I think of it (which I never do before I start typing lol), I have way too few rows
I could only get 8, but thats going diagnol...
